Data Domains
• Types of data generated by molecular
biology research:
– nucleotide sequences (DNA and mRNA)
– protein sequences
– 3-D protein structures
– complete genomes and maps
• Also now have:
– gene expression
– genetic variation (polymorphisms)

Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
Types of Databases - By Scope
• Comprehensive
– Contain data from many organisms and many different
types of sequences. Examples:
– Nucleotide
• GenBank (overview)
• EMBL: European Molecular Biology Laboratory
• DDBJ: DNA Data Bank of Japan
(The three databases above comprise the International Nucleotide
Sequence Database Collaboration and currently include sequence
data from >120,000 species.)
– Protein, such as Swiss-Prot
– Protein Structure, such as PDB: Protein Data Bank
– Genomes and Maps, such as Entrez Genomes
• Specialized
– Contain data from individual organisms, specific
categories/functions of sequences, or data generated by
specific sequencing technologies.

Types of Databases
- By Level of Curation
• Archival data
– repository of information
– redundant; might have many sequence records for the same
gene, each from a different lab
– submitters maintain editorial control over their records:
what goes in is what comes out
– no controlled vocabulary
– variation in annotation of biological features
• Curated data
– non-redundant; one record for each gene, or each splice variant
– each record is intended to present an encapsulation of the
current understanding of a gene or protein, similar to a review
article
– records contain value-added information that have been added
by an expert(s)

Primary vs. Derivative Databases
6
Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
100's of Databases
• 100's of databases available (example).
Which Ones to Use?
• easiest to start with a single search
system (such as Entrez) that combines
data from the most commonly used
comprehensive databases
• If user wants additional specialized
databases, search the database and
software directories
7
Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
GenBank
• archival database of nucleotide sequences from
>130,000 organisms
• records annotated with coding region (CDS)
features also include amino acid translations
• each record represents the work of a single lab
• redundant; can have many sequence records for
a single gene
• part of the International Nucleotide Sequence
Database Collaboration
• more information about GenBank...

Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
International Nucleotide Sequence Database
Collaboration
• Collaboration among:
– DDBJ - DNA Data Bank of Japan
– EMBL - European Molecular Biology Laboratory, UK
– GenBank - National Center for Biotechnology Information, NLM, NIH

Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
RefSeq
• Database of reference sequences
• Curated
• Non-redundant; one record for each gene, or each splice variant,
from each organism represented
• A representative GenBank record is used as the source for a
RefSeq record
• Value-added information is added by an expert(s)
• Each record is intended to present an encapsulation of the current
understanding of a gene or protein, similar to a review article
• Variety of accession number prefixes (NM_ , NP_ , etc.) and status
codes (provisional, reviewed, etc.)
• RefSeq database includes genomic DNA, mRNA, and protein
sequences, so organizes information according to the model of the
central dogma of biology
• Accessible through Entrez, BLAST, and FTP site
– RefSeq records are available in various Entrez Databases such as
Nucleotide, Protein, Genome, and are also accessible from Entrez
Gene records

Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
RefSeq Scope and Accessions
• Different record types for different molecules from the
central dogma of biology:
• Genomic DNA
– NC_123456 - complete genome, complete chromosome,
complete plasmid
– NG_123456 - genomic region
– NT_123456 - genomic contig
• mRNA - NM_123456
• Protein - NP_123456
• Gene and protein models from genome annotation
projects:
– XM_123456 - mRNA
– XR_123456 - RNA (non-coding transcripts)
– XP_123456 - protein

Summer Bioinformatics Workshop 2008
RefSeq Status Codes
• Level of curation
• Examples
– Provisional
• has not yet been subject to individual review and is thought
to be well supported and to represent a valid transcript and
protein
– Reviewed
• has been the reviewed by NCBI staff or by a collaborator
– Predicted
• is predicted and has not been subject to individual review
– Genome Annotation
• identifies RefSeq records provided by the NCBI Genome
Annotation process
• more about RefSeq status codes
